Some Six Sigma methodologies are aimed at reducing the errors in a product line by looking at all the processes contributing to the completion and delivery of an item or service. Improving the effectiveness of these processes and omitting redundancies are ways to make the entire manufacturing process more efficient. This leads to shortened lead times, improvements in gross margin and more reliable production lines.

Six sigma and PMP: How can they help you togethere?Ashish Michael
This is idea of combining both Six Sigma and PMP came to me after working for nearly 5 years in Quality and Manufacturing functions of a balanced matrix organization(PMBOK). I always see Project Management not as something of future but present. So what is next, we have seen how Six Sigma brings a giant leap in quality but the problem with Six Sigma is that it is am operational tool for quality improvement. How to bring this provem concept into a project was a big challenge.
We know project is a one time activity and so we can say for design of product (DFSS), I tried to relate DFSS (Design for six sigma) with a projectized approach. And this was what I was able make. Its like a fusion, I thought this will be intresting and hence thought of sharing this “Theory” with you.

Quality Function Deployment
In a few words: The voice of the customer translated into the voice of the engineer.
To design a product well, a design teams needs to know what it is
they are designing, and what the end-users will expect from it.
Quality Function Deployment is a systematic approach to design
based on a close awareness of customer desires, coupled with the
integration of corporate functional groups. It consists in
translating customer desires (for example, the ease of writing for
a pen) into design characteristics (pen ink viscosity, pressure on
ball-point) for each stage of the product development (Rosenthal,
1992).
Ultimately the goal of QFD is to translate
often subjective quality criteria into objective
ones that can be quantified and measured and
which can then be used to design and
manufacture the product. It is a complimentary
method for determining how and where
priorities are to be assigned in product
development. The intent is to employ
objective procedures in increasing detail
throughout the development of the product.
(Reilly, 1999)
Quality Function Deployment was developed
by Yoji Akao in Japan in 1966. By 1972 the
power of the approach had been well
demonstrated at the Mitsubishi Heavy
Industries Kobe Shipyard (Sullivan, 1986) and
in 1978 the first book on the subject was
published in Japanese and then later translated
into English in 1994 (Mizuno and Akao,
1994).
In Akao’s words, QFD "is a method for developing a design quality aimed at satisfying the
consumer and then translating the consumer's demand into design targets and major quality
assurance points to be used throughout the production phase. ... [QFD] is a way to assure the
design quality while the product is still in the design stage." As a very important side benefit he
points out that, when appropriately applied, QFD has demonstrated the reduction of development
time by one-half to one-third. (Akao, 1990)
The 3 main goals in implementing QFD are:
1. Prioritize spoken and unspoken customer wants and needs.
2. Translate these needs into technical characteristics and specifications.
3. Build and deliver a quality product or service by focusing everybody toward customer
satisfaction.

Product Concept
Since its introduction, Quality Function Deployment has helped to transform the way many
companies:
• Plan new products
• Design product requirements
• Determine process characteristics
• Control the manufacturing process
• Document already existing product specifications
QFD uses some principles from Concurrent Engineering in that cross-functional teams are
involved in all phases of product development. Each of the four phases in a QFD process uses a
matrix to translate customer requirements from initial plann.

A Proactive Attitude Toward Quality: The Project Defect ModelBen Linders
Over the last decade, the software industry has been investing heavily in software process improvement, such as CMM(I) initiatives. But achieving higher CMMI levels does not guarantee business success. Being able to define strategic business objectives and implementing a derived product development strategy with a proactive attitude toward quality determines whether one is successful in the long run.
This article focuses on the importance of quality, where the existing approach toward dealing with quality in the late testing phase is criticized. The author discusses how quality can be managed proactively, using an example from industry. Ericsson R&D Netherlands defined a project defect model and ran a pilot project to manage quality
throughout product development.

Six Sigma
The term Six Sigma, popularized by Motorola, Honeywell, and General Electric, has two meanings in TQM. In a statistical sense, it describes a process, product, or service with an extremely high capability (99.9997% accuracy). For example, if 1 million passengers pass through the St. Louis Airport with checked baggage each month, a Six Sigma program for baggage handling will result in only 3.4 passengers with misplaced luggage. The more common three-sigma program (which we address in the supplement to this chapter) would result in 2,700 passengers with misplaced bags every month. See Figure 6.4.
Six Sigma
A program to save time, improve quality, and lower costs.
The second TQM definition of Six Sigma is a program designed to reduce defects to help lower costs, save time, and improve customer satisfaction. Six Sigma is a comprehensive system—a strategy, a discipline, and a set of tools—for achieving and sustaining business success:
1. LO 6.3Explain Six Sigma
· It is a strategy because it focuses on total customer satisfaction.
· It is a discipline because it follows the formal Six Sigma Improvement Model known as DMAIC. This five-step process improvement model (1) Defines the project’s purpose, scope, and outputs and then identifies the required process information, keeping in mind the customer’s definition of quality; (2) Measures the process and collects data; (3) Analyzes the data, ensuring repeatability (the results can be duplicated) and reproducibility (others get the same result); (4) Improves, by modifying or redesigning, existing processes and procedures; a.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

USE OF DMADV METHODOLOGY TO CREATE A MARKETING
PROCESS FOR SMARTPHONES IN INDIA
The DMADV methodology can’t be better explained than by comparing it with DMAIC methodology
despite their fundamental differences. Take for example, the case of a traveling salesman who convinces a
customer to buy at the best price. After invoicing and collecting the shipping details, he discovers that
there is a problem with the packaging department which is unable to reduce the shipping volume as
desired by the customer. The salesman now remembers that nowadays, more and more customers are
demanding that their shipments’ volumes be reduced when packaged.
Now, the packaging department has a problem on their hands which they are unable to resolve unless
their rule books are rewritten. What should the project team evaluate now; DMAIC or DMADV
methodology?
The DMADV methodology should be applied:
1. when a non-existent product or process needs to be developed at a company and…
2. when an existing process or product already exists but still needs to meet a Six Sigma level or
customer specification.
Let’s examine the five major phases of DMADV more closely.
Define :
The goals of the first phase are to identify the purpose of the project, process or service, to identify and
then set realistic and measurable goals as seen from the perspectives of the organization and the
stakeholder(s), to create the schedule and guidelines for the review and to identify and assess potential
risks. A clear definition of the project is established during this step, and every strategy and goal must be
aligned with the expectations of the company and the customers.
3. 3 | P a g e
Measurement
Next comes measuring the factors that are critical to quality, or CTQs. Steps taken should include:
defining requirements and market segments, identifying the critical design parameters,designing
scorecards that will evaluate the design components more important to the quality, reassessing risk and
assessing the production process capability and product capability. Once the values for these factors are
known, then an effective approach can be taken to start the production process. It is important here to
determine which metrics are critical to the stakeholder and to translate the customer requirements into
clear project goals.
Analysis
Actions taken during this phase will include: developing design alternatives, identifying the optimal
combination of requirements to achieve value within constraints, developing conceptual designs,
evaluating then selecting the best components, then developing the best possible design. It is during this
stage that an estimate of the total life cycle cost of the design is determined. After thoroughly exploring
the different design alternatives, what is the best design option available for meeting the goals?
Design
This stage of DMADV includes both a detailed and high level design for the selected alternative. The
elements of the design are prioritized and from there a high level design is developed. Once this step is
complete, a more detailed model will be prototyped in order to identify where errors may occur and to
make necessary modifications.
Verify
In the final phase, the team validates that the design is acceptable to all stakeholders. Will the design be
effective in the realworld? Severalpilot and production runs will be necessary to ensure that the quality is
the highest possible. Here,expectations will be confirmed, deployment will be expanded and all lessons
learned will be documented. The Verify step also includes a plan to transition the product or service to a
routine operation and to ensure that this change is sustainable.
There is a new viewpoint in Six Sigma circles that DMADV is for designing new products and
services and that it may not be successfulon existing business processes and products. Although the
argument is valid to some extent, you would do well to notice that the I of DMAIC is not far removed
from the D of DMADV. You can easily say that design is an extended concept of improvement.
Difference BetweenDMADVAnd DMAIC
The difference, as one can see now, exists only in the way last two steps are handled. In DMADV,
instead of the Improve and Control steps which focuses on readjusting and controlling by one way or
other, deals with redesigning the process to fit customer needs.
4. 4 | P a g e
Can You Use DMAIC In Place Of DMADV?
Let’s simply put it the other way around. You can implement DMADV when you don’t have an
existing product, which you are aiming to create from scratch. The second occasion when you can
think of using DMADV is when in actual practice, DMAIC hasn’t yielded the result you were looking
for despite best efforts to make improvements. In a nutshell, the latter reason can be summarized as:
use DMADV when process improvement either fails or doesn’t deliver to your expectations.
There are occasions when planned DMAIC has turned into DMADV ultimately. a Six Sigma Black Belt
must take credit for this, in my view, as this reflects their in-depth subject knowledge.
Marketing ProcessforSmart Phones in India
1. Firstly with the help of DMADV we will identify the needs and wants of the consumer and on the
basis of needs we will set goals and objective that we need to accomplish to increase the market
share and productivity by keeping in mind the optimum utilisation of resources and every strategy
and goal must be aligned with the expectations of the company and the customers.
Example: now-a-days consumer needs touch screen android phone with long lasting battery at low price
2. Secondly we will analyze the market opportunities likewise we will identify the customer
preference,type of market segment to be targeted,who are the anticipating competitors of the
same kind of product we are launching in the market, find out the risk involved in production
process.
Example:
Youngster today wants a sleek, HD camera,3G & 4G supportable, 5.5inch screen with long
battery backup (customer preference) ,
Competitor analysis should be done to know what our competitors are offering to be best in the
market like Samsung offers good customer service keep their customers happy.
3. Now we will Analyze the options, to determine the cause of error origination and evaluate
corrective measures to overcome that problem. In this stage we will develop conceptual designs,
evaluate them, select the best components, then developing the best possible design.
Example: We will create a 2 or 3 different design dummy model of our smartphone that we are going to
launch in market and then among them select the best design.
4. In this step a smart phone is manufactured keeping in mind customers preference, quality & price
of the product and then a check is made whether there is an error or not. Is it meet the needs of
our customers?
Example: Many companies provide their own product to their own employees to use them and tell their
reviews about the product before launching it in the market.
5. 5 | P a g e
5. In the final Step, the team validates that the design is acceptable to all stakeholders. And the
product is ready to launch in the market to give customer their preference at low price but with
un-beatable quality.
Example: Error free product with customer service centers in all areas with properly trained employees,
unbreakable product due to hard back cover, some special offers like free after sales service, full damage
will be beared by company.
